Virtual classrooms

An innovative online program, our Virtual Classrooms engage students in live web discussions featuring by influential public figures. The David Suzuki Virtual Classroom featuring the film Force of Nature, is one of several such events that have reached thousands of Canadian students.

Pre-selected NFB films serve to prompt discussion on current affairs and critical issues. Students have the opportunity to connect with influential public figures and each other, from coast to coast, providing a unique and engaging experience that transcends traditional textbook learning.

The Virtual Classrooms have only basic technological requirements. Once subscribers acquire a copy of the film to be discussed, all they need is Internet access, a webcam and microphone.
